Word origin

The word 'bloated' originated from the Old Norse word 'blautr' which meant 'soft, flabby'. Over time, the meaning evolved to include the sense of being swollen or puffed up. The adjective 'bloated' has been used in English since the late 16th century to describe both physical and metaphorical states of excessive swelling or verbosity.
